If equipped, most new GM vehicles have the GM Air Filter Life System. This feature provides an indication of when to change the engine air filter.
Replace the engine air filter when the REPLACE NOW message displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This should be done as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1,000 km). The system must be reset after the engine air filter is changed.
